How NOT over optimize anchor text ?

How would you guys structure anchor texts for this main kw, so it's not over optimizeed and looks natural in google eyes ?

What i do is i make 60% of my links with the exact anchor text (online games), the rest like "play online games" "best online games" "download online games" etc. The problem is ... some of my sites using this structure go up .. some go down!. I dunno why ?

I bet you have some related keywords too you wish to rank for. So you could rotate those too ie. playing free online games playinh online action games and such ...

My opinion on this changes a lot but I currently think you can get away with quite a high exact KW quotient - I'm not saying you should do this but I have a #1 position with a site that has 120 different backlinks all with the same anchor text.

I would say up to 80% exact KW anchors is ok, the rest should be urls, variants or "click here" / "go here" / "this site" etc.

Take a look with market samurai at the anchor texts for the top 3 or so sites already ranking. You will notice something like this most of the time:
-40-60% : primary keyword
-15% : secondary keyword
-the rest : random stuff like "click here" or "exact url" stuff that people would naturally use to refer to your site.

I'll just ask a related question on this thread that goes along the same lines. I have a few sites where I've had links going to sub pages with related keywords but now have one site where I only really have one page I can send links to (the main page). All the sub pages are about me, contact info etc. Will I struggle to rank if I send all the backlinks to the main page only or does it really matter?

I'll tell you the answer if you tell me how you managed to get 4,294,967,277 thanks.

Why do You think some of my pages go down (-100, -300, -500) when i add more links ? All my domains are 3+ years old, ranking high (top10) for verry competetive kw. In general my SiEO is doing great, but sometimes my single pages i do seo for ... go down like a rock ?

How many links are you adding at once? Are you going from something like 1,000 backlinks to 2,000 backlinks overnight, or is it a gradual growth? Ultimately, you want to trick google into believing that your link growth is natural, so when you're building links don't do it all at once; space out how fast your website are gaining links. You'll also want to watch out what types of links you're getting. Are your links all footer or blogroll links, are these links site wide links, and are the links actually from related websites? Additionally, in context links look a lot more natural and are going to give you more of a boost. You really just need to monitor yourself, and ask the question: Does this look out of place? If too many things look off, then google is going to recognize this.
